Amazon is easy in the sense that it’s straight forward basic work, but nothin’ east about working on your feet for 10 hrs, with short ass breaks, and working during the exact opposite time of day that you’re use to working..
Amazon deceitful ASF!!! Once I found out about those stow rates and us having to work MULTIPLE work stations at the same time while STILL having to keep high rates, I wanted to run like my house on fire. Amazon dead wrong for that bs and they know it.
i was in training today. and the videos started going about random lockers, hubs, and "return counters" and shit like that. i asked him "what is that about? i thought we were delivering" he goes "you are. it can be MORE than a house though! sometimes you are walking up to floor 8 of an apartment building" i was honestly thinking of just bolting right there LOL. i'll see how it goes xD
I’m quitting too. There’s barely any training and the managers are yelling at workers for making mistakes or annoying workers and sending them messages to work faster. The atmosphere is too depressing. The people who work there are unfriendly and looked pissed off at you when you walk by them.
@@domainmailbox3850 and i one up their little teen girl psychological manipulation games and say ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING to them if they yell or are passive aggressive.
Warehouse work is not for everyone ESPECIALLY when you have two jobs. I was able to do it only because I cant stand office jobs, so I would have a good balance between labor and sitting. Eventually I lost my job due to COVID at the office but I still had Amazon. I love it, got cross trained in a lot of places bc the repetition bores me. If theres one thing I can say: Amazon orientation is the most unorganized portion when starting. Easy money but it takes forever by the time they actually train you!
I'm working wknds at a warehouse now thru a temp agency. I was gonna quit the day before because my feet were aching TF outta me but now it ain't that bad at all since I bought some new comfy shoes. I may still leave in a few wks but I'm doing it on good terms just in case I need some work for a couple days & they'll have no problem taking me back.
I don’t understand why you took the full time job at Amazon when you worked until 4-ish at your work from home job. When were you going to sleep? Too few hours to sleep between the two jobs.
@@lovethemflowers What's wrong with working Full time from working at home? At least they want to work, Are you black? Because only a black person would think like this
I’m at AMZN now (sortation); I like it because I’m retired; old people love b/c it supplement income and it’s not a threat to be released; they’re in reduced housing anyway, living alone with no social life and it beats playing bingo; they do try to match u with what old ppl can do; but I’m a peppy older person and love it; scanning (pick off is challenging), but u don’t have to say much, it’s pretty much: take this from here, do this to it, now place it here. I’ll tell you one thing, I bet you have more respect for getting your pkg if you order from AMZN knowing what ppl go thru to get it to u (I do anyway); loved your comment and I ❤️VTO.
she is explaining exactly how i am feeling rn. my trainer was nice asf but shit was too easy and she kept trying to overteach me. also my back is killing me. im doing 3, 12.5 hour shifts with 4 days off but after day 1 i am not looking forward to going back
@@easypete975 was the pay good for a broke 26 yr old ? That’s what I am an I jus got hired at Amazon, I jus feel greatful to be earning my own money an look forward to saving up an getting a studio place for myself 🙏🏽
Word! Loved your video. Some of the ambassadors feel they need to assert themselves in a way that shows management they can manage(more like handle) people. As a current employee, I’ll give my perspective. I just became an L3 learning trainer but I was a picker (L1) for a little over a year. Alicia was a stower who placed items into the pod. A picker is the person that actually picks the orders that are to be sent to induct, packing, and then to the customer. For the people that are just starting, it is a job that is very taxing on the body. It’s not only just the physical work but the hours combined with it that makes it tough. After a while, (2-4 weeks) you start to get used to doing the work. I’m not going to say that your feet and legs don’t continue to hurt after a 10/12 hour shift, but you learn to deal with it. Like she said, if you have a 9-5 already and make good money there, keep it. Amazon is a production based business and it will be expected from day 1/2….. Hang in there! You’ll be alright. There will be times people come up to you with feedback(often). Just receive it and continue working. Go home and enjoy your paycheck! Good luck!
Omg! I had the same experience at amazon.( inbound stowing)I quit on day 2 on my lunch break. The trainer needed an attitude adjustment. They need to understand that , we are not pros on the first & second day. Amazon has a very depressing environment. Amazon is definitely not for everyone.
manager made me cry on the drive home after reprimanding me when she was in a rush to get stuff done in front of everyone. It was my 3rd day ever working in a warehouse. Even the other manager told her to stop shouting at me
Actually I did wanted to work ,I did not like the fulfillment center . I was rehired after a week. Now I'm at the sort center. I have been there for 2 months now.
I’m an Amazon shopper but at the warehouse. I’ve been looking to quitting and have applied to a few places. It’s such a workout in the warehouse My back and knees can’t take it much longer 😩
@@jurnee-y Yes it is. I never liked that kind of work in the first place when I was so much younger. I remember when I was loading trucks with loads of milk for Sealtest over 40 years ago and though I was 22 going on 23 within a couple of weeks that summer I got the hell outta there. I lasted a week too long and went and applied at an insurance company working in the mailroom. So much better than that job so I don't know why I thought 60+ years of age I could work at Amazon. Rude awakening for sure.
I’m not that old compared to some other people who work there and I just look at them like, if im achy and tired from this I could only imagine how you feel. Not only that but there’s a pregnant chick that looks like she’s ready to pop any minute but they still be having her pick
@@jurnee-y I didn't realized I responded below here and said the same thing regarding me working for a milk company and changing the job. See slowly losing it. Well I won't speak for others I know just what I wasn't going to put my body or me through. Do what you need to do for like many companies they don't care. Just get the job done and if you can't NEXT....
@@Cjmboo Had to see for myself if it was as crazy as the videos said it was. I thought maybe I could do it but even the training which was none wasn't good. Like I said its for the younger folks. Had me working like some damn horse. Hell to the no!
@@Cjmboo That's wonderful to know. if I was 20 years younger maybe but then I remember working for Sealtest loading up milk on trailer trucks and I was going on 23, that was a killer job. I lasted a week and got me a job working for an insurance company in their mailroom so I just wasn't cut out for that kind of work. Don't know what made me think at this age I can do Amazon. I learned FAST!
I worked at a warehouse for another major retailer, which shall remain nameless, a few months ago & its pretty much the same way. Long hours on my feet, back pain, muscles locking up, mental strain, micromanagement, etc. I quit after 5 days. I couldnt take it anymore. If you want a quick paycheck, cool but dont be there for too long.
Was there for a year . Saw so many people come and go . Most didn't stay a week . Now they're doing hire on bonuses at the locations that struggle with retainment the most .
the bonuses are a waste of time because they are paid in increments only for the person to quit anyways because of the harsh realities. Frequent breaks would really help ANYBODY at this point i mean whistle blows every two hours for a 15min break. lol
@@essedu6473 yea the only ones I kno that actually got their sign on bonuses are rehires lol that know how to play the game there . The brand new people quit long before the first payout unless real desperate.
I’m 55 years old and I am an office manager during the day full time making $6more an hour than Amazon is paying me. I wanted the benefits!! But it’s hard work, no training, I was put into stowing too. I haven’t quit yet. What did you end up doing as a part time gig? They want you to work so fast and up and down the step ladder and really no training
@@meyou5789 I don’t know much about picking but stowing, if you push the button to go to the next pod that is held against you! They keep track plus it could take several pods before you get one where you don’t have to climb the ladder and the clock is always ticking.
I pick up an extra job at Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I have a full time job elsewhere but picked up this job to help pay for my wedding! They blew me when they didn’t tell me that for the two mandatory days of training I had to be there for 10 hours. My body never ached so bad before in my life, and I workout regularly. Not a bad job, but that type of labor is wear and tear on the body
Same it was my first day at amazon i was on a nursery route and i quit on my first day just today. Its modern day slavery. 280 parcels 12 hours hard very underpressured stressful.
@@jlee1184 But the majority of the employees in Warehouses/Factories are Hispanics, they work hard, but of course their work ethic enables these Corporations to make millions, a lot more than if it was blacks alone, black people wouldn't get you that far.
Girl I just had my first day, last Tuesday and I’m not going back lol. I’m in Jersey as well. The worst training, they throw you right in, they expect you to know wtf to do without adequate training, the supervisors was saying I was slow. I was over it. I stowed and then I had to pick and stage. They offered the VTO I took it with a quickness, and I’m not looking back.
I worked as an Amazon delivery driver for only 2 days. I quit during the middle of my shift. It was the worst job I had ever done in my entire life. Definelty not going back. I can’t imagine what wiring in the warehouse is like. It must be hell and I exercise regularly.
The training sucks, people have bad attitude’s there. It’s very loud, and back breaking work. Almost feels like a prison. Brutal long, hours. Picking up boxes all night like some kind of robot. My whole body was sore, and I couldn’t even get up put the bed. Couldn’t hardly walk
Girl i feel this. I just started thursday and everything bout is a disaster. I got sent home yesterday bc i over heated and thru up. There is no air coming thru the facility i work at. I work 6pm to 6am and we only get two bathroom breaks.
My site I just go when ever I have to go. I dont have to ask to go. I just go. N its water machine near by with very cold water to drink. My stations have fans but i still get hot.
My first day was today. Once we finished "training" (if thats what it was supposed to be) and started stowing, my scanner kept messing up and I decided I'm not doing this. I just left. I never quit a job that fast and didnt even make it the whole day. It was too depressing and just a negative environment.
I worked at amazon fresh for almost a year as PTflex. I asked over and over again to be trained in something new, before i started full time because i did not wanna be picking/receiving/batching for 10 hours, but they wouldnt. They told me I need to train myself basically, how tf? Bc a lot of the other jobs there besides picking, receiving, or batching require a laptop. Idk where they even keep them, let alone how to navigate to do a new job without training. But they would train other people who been there much less time than me. Yesterday was my first full time day, i picked alll day and felt so depressed and drained. The aches and pains i can get over, but its the mental exhaustion for me. And it was only day one of full time, i couldnt do it.
They literally didn't train me.They told me where to go and that was it! I raised hell till they told me exactly to do with a trainer.The manager was looking at me weird like I shouldn't have went off.They literally threw me to the wolves with no help didn't tell me how to scan or nothing.I left after a week or two and they never told me I had to stay an extra hr or so after I packed.I told them I was leaving cause they never told me,this was after my shift was over.Nah very unprofessional and no training.Would not recommended!!!
We have a brand new facility that opened up last year. More bathrooms, layout is way way better than older building, more convenient bathrooms, great A/C.
Im learning that Amazon likes to mess with your head. example ive only been there 3days...they will pull u off stow and talk to you fir a good 10 mins Then 1/2 hr later....your rate is down we need u to get it up🤣🤣🤣
I was on board with amazon till they started doing too much mandatory overtime on the nightshift working 7pm till 630 am is inhuman and u gotta be there the exact same day
Anyway thanks for your service. Will be starting on the 24th and have a full time job, so just working for the extra money. Sorry that it didn't work out.
Many people that have worked as amazon drivers have quit, and it's understandable why so many amazon drivers quit. Lots of amazon delivery drivers that quit are hard workers, have a great work ethic, are great employees, are in great physical shape, etc. Many amazon delivery drivers quit since they constantly feel pressured and rushed to make 200 stops per day and make 20 stops per hour. At Amazon, many drivers have to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour, and they're being monitored to make sure they're making 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour. There's lots of circumstances that occur that make it hard or even impossible to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour such as traffic jams, detours, rainy conditions, delivering several packages to apartment complexes, customers asking questions about packages, etc. Many amazon delivery drivers urinate in cups on the side of the road due to fearing that if they stop somewhere to use the bathroom, they won't be able to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour. Many amazon delivery drivers skip their breaks, run stop signs, run red lights, etc due to feeling rushed and pressured to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour.
U run a stop sign or light you’re fked so don’t lie. They will let u know real quick. Second, it’s not 20 an hour, I easily do 30 for apartments and up too 45 for easier routes and I walk. Peeing im bottles is part of delivery jobs like this. Fedex and ups all do it. Get over it. You’re not going too die. Many ppl quit because they come in thinking this jobs easy, you get too blast music and walk too houses and drive in ac all day… what a dream job right… you need to have a very good work ethic or you’re not going too make it, no one’s going too hold your hand to teach you to be more efficient. This is one of the easiest jobs I have, I catch up on podcasts and hbomax movies with my third phone ok it’s own elbow. I use my xtra time I saved too do some quick groceries before I head back too rts.
Thats basically every warehouse job. If you need a quick few hundred dollars, work there for a hot min & bounce. Its not something you wanna do long-term.
Thats me. 15 years and i have all these problems that i never had before and its not because im getting older. Doctor says i shouldnt have the problems i have. Headaches, depression, anxiety, herniated disk, scolosis ,tendonitis, bursitis, arthritic pain, carpal boss, trigger finger, nerve pain in legs, neck muscle tension. All due to one job.
I start on the 4 been tryna find a job for the longest but didn’t nobody wanna hire me so I applied to amazon and this would be my first job ever I’m kinda nervous 😬
Amazon driver sucks they do not pay no more than 15 an hour. 16 the most because of covid. Fedex express driver is 18 an hour Also medical courier driver is 16-18 an hour less stress more money
Its best to not to work at places like this. They are physically and mentally draining. Not only that but takes a toll on your body.. T how i hurt my back and have nerve damage due to standing 8-12 hrs a day.
I quit my second internship (it was in the kitchen hotel) because the environment was dirty, esp. the dressing room, didn't have anything to eat (well, it was only a few times), and I have a hard time collaborating with colleagues there because of my poor communication and active listening skills (that was my own fault).
My 1st day scanner not working and had to watch from a distance can't see what's on her scanner but I'm getting audited tonight even though my scanner was useless. Couldn't hear her because of noise and social distance. Terrible training.
I bet you got paid the full scheduled time. Even though you started late, Amazon pays by the time they scheduled you for. Once you walk through that door on camera, you're clocked in.
The delivery station where I'm at in Portland is alright. The Learning ambassadors are nice and they understand that you're not going to be fast right away
I’m trying to quit but it isn’t giving me the option 😩 I only showed up for my day one but the next day my body was dead.. I thought I’d give it a second chance because I was working at amazon for 3 months last year and I had the option to just quit on the spot but now this place isn’t letting me.
Girl you scaring me with all of this lol I'm gonna work from 7 30 to 6 pm is full time for me. I'll be a packer though I do need extra money to get my braces done soon 😬 my training start November 3 lol
I'm a picker. So I pick the item you stow. It's so easy. I only had one day of Training. They dont really yell at me. They are being super nice. But I kept expecting them to yell at me but they dont. Yes it's super diverse but there are more guys then women. Yesterday there were these cleaners that came into the bathroom. While I was in there. Instead of getting out. They started talking to me. I kept trying to get them to move. But they didn't. Lucky another girl came and got some help for me. But I'm very uncomfortable now. I dont really wanna go back.
I quit after a week smh. I got harassed 2 out of the 5 days I worked 🙄🙄 but I mainly quit bc my fat ass (my pfp is years old) could not handle exercise for 7 hours a day I felt disgusting and smelled like shit and I could barely move bc I was so sore everyday
Did you end up with another part time job? If so what? I’m an office manager during my Monday - Friday job but I’m looking for some extra money. Yes, my day job pays way better than amazon. Looks like I’ll be looking for a better part time job ...
Oh my gawwwwd is it really that bad fr?? I start soon and I really wanna be strong and make it thru but literally EVERYONE I talk to says it’s the worst and they quit. Everyone also says how physically demanding it is and I can NOT afford to lose weight . I’m 94 pounds and I’m trying to GAIN. Is this Job not a go at all ?
Yeahh I hung in there for about 4 months. Just long enough to save up and buy me a mustang. Definitely struggled to keep weight on tho. Now I’m sittin at the front desk of a hotel . Easiest job in the world
Just came home from my second day and my 3rd day later today will probably be my last. But I’m thinking of not even showing up. I honestly thought I could do it.
@@TaylorAlicia I start tomorrow . What u mean it's hard? I hear so many people says it's easy common sense work ? Where does it get hard. Someone tell me lol
Tom Brady i personally don’t think they do a good job at training people, so it’s not hard but the training sucks in my opinion. It’s rather boring. We couldn’t listen to music or anything just stand there and put items away. It’s repetitive
What’s the extra job you do that makes you more money? cause honey I wanna get in on it I work at Amazon now and ooooh boy I am already praying for God to make a way for another job!
I hear ya! I started this past Friday from 0120-1150! As a vet I can relate! I'm working in stow too this shit is madness! Marine Corps boot camp is more enjoyable than this shit!
Girl I just laughed til I cried That’s exactly how they do you at Amazon And I’m 60 been there. Since 2018 . You described stow perfectly and those crazy trainer Ty for your service Gby
FYI, if you get hired on in factory/warehouse work, expect physical work, short breaks, no cell phone usage on shop floor and no jewellery and long nails will break. Not for the weak or lazy.
Saying someone is weak & lazy is a little much, just bc somebody is used to working like a modern day slave doesn’t mean somebody else who tries the job is lazy, could you sit for long periods of time while working??? Or talk to customers all day??? Does it make you lazy or weak if you were to quit that type of job??? Some jobs aren’t fit everybody & that’s fine, just have to find a job that fits you 🤷🏽♀️
you might be right when it comes to Amazon! I'm often tried from my first two jobs as an RN front-line worker but was determined to give it try and see what all the hype is about Amazon and why they're at the top of the market and their industry. It is true some people don't like to work and others are not fit enough to do some types of work. To whom the shoe fits might be offended by your remarks. to whom it does not, won't care, and might see some merit in your pointed remarks. Carry on.
@@WhitemenaresoSexy Its not about not wanting to work, its about not wanting to work at a dead end slave labor camp that starts wearing on you immediately and doesn't care if you are not in the shape to do the job in the first place. Def not a job for everyone. It takes a robust individual mentally and physically. And come on, who can handle this kind of work for months? Either the gullible, or the desperate. Fast food is literally a better job.
@@bacongl yea the benefits and 3 days off is really what keeps those people there long term. It's a constant revolving door every day of associates. The news just reported about how they're now worried about not being able to hire people
You are not alone I quited fed ex today I didnt return to work because they let me go early and it wasn't fair enough they are tricky I want all my pay not go home early 😒 fed ex is totally unprofessional to be honestly and more work is just not a great fit like lifting heavy packages I was done with them for a min.
I walked out during the orientation the lady said we're your going I said away from hear behind before I could get to my car another female had walked out that type of job as soon as you go to the bathroom they going to be walking behind you as soon as you go get a cup of water they going to be walking behind you I don't got time for that
I quit after 5 days I couldn’t take it my feet hurt so bad and my fat ass is not built for that type of job also I didn’t even get health insurance so not worth it
I’m in the same boat. I’m in NYC and I work 8-5 and about to start at Amazon from 8-5 at night lol. Planning on sleeping in between. I’m going to try it out and see. If I don’t like it just like you in out
I quit Amazon delivery station after two weeks of work. My body was torned apart completely 😂😂😂From stowing three ailes like crazy,and picking at the end. I couldn’t handle it,a lot of physical work and for $15.30hr heck no….them oversized boxes are HEAVY. I was done being sore,and with a sweaty ass and wet panties from 1:20am-11:50am.
🤣🤣 Girl, I'm not trying to spend half my check on some Lume deodorant. Hope you found something easier with good pay. I was about to try it out next month but damn that!
Ommg I feel you I know this is old video here, I’m think to quit too at Amazon I’m new here, I never worked warehouse in my whole life this is my 1st & now I’m thinking not to come back
I just started a warehouse job recently & im already planning my exit because my feet be on fire after 10-12 hours. Im only staying on board because of the pay. I'll give it about a good 2 months so i can save enough money & then im out.
You see any highschool students around? I’m eligible for the job soon but I don’t have a diploma (excuse I’m attending highschool still) Do they check if you actually have a diploma or not? Cause their turn over rate is so high it sounds like a waste of money
Misty Diablo The schedule varies by location when u apply they give your different start times which u can choose from like day or night, full time or part time
@@Mistyfgdf I didn't see any high schoolers as far as I know. A lot of these warehouse jobs really don't care if you have a diploma or not. They worry more about your availability. I say just wait til you finish school so you can work any hours at any job. If anything, try to find something part time for now so it doesn't intrude on your school time.
When i worked at fred meyers warehouse as a order selector no women working at that warehouse because what we do in fredy is very different compared to amazon i see a lot of videos people working as a picker. I don't see hard at all. Once u work at warehouse expect a hard work. Check what we do in fred meyer this amazon is way way easy
Damn some real horror stories being told here. I work for Amazon in the Inbound/Outbound building on Staten Island in New York. Mad easy work. So easy I was wondering why anyone would want to union bust. After reading some of these comments I understand now. But warehouse work is not for everyone.
I start in a few days. Its the 12hr Thu-Sat nights. I worked at a manufacturing plant for a year prior. So hopefully it won't be terrible. 18.4 is what starting pay is. Obviously not great by any means, but I really need something at the moment. Plus it's nice that (I'm speaking too soon lol) more shifts are always available.
@@nickireginebey9361 Stayed for three months, went to a different job and came back again for a few months for the Holiday pay and SUB incentives. then left again lmfao.
I started in the beginning of October and I haven’t been able to get shift. My position is at Whole Foods Market as a Primer Shopper. The only thing I hate about the location is that there is no parking for employees. I have to park on the street and pay. Walk like 12 minutes to get to the location of the job. So basically I waste more money than earn money. I want to quit so bad.
@@blazineyezasian____ Amazons physical work was easy but it's mentally depressing. Amazon doesn't respect or care about it's employees. Plus the hours are shit. Good luck. I'll be back after peak. Only 2 days a week though.
I start September 6th 6pm-4am but I’m only doing it to lose weight until my birthday in November because I’m going on a trip. I hope I last until then. Do you think it would help with weight loss?
Donflun I’m done! My feet were hurting sooo bad my first 3 days and when my right knee started hurting I said yea nah F this! I only took it as a second job to get out the house and meet people since I been working from home the last 8 years and the money was gon be a plus too, but F that she said it all in the video it’s hard ASF on your body. The atmosphere is also just sad especially when going on break and everyone just so quiet because they have to be six feet apart at all times. I think they should at least let people listen to music. I was in packing Sun-Wd 630-5am and packing wasn’t hard just hard on your body. All props and respect to those that have to work that job.
I’m on day 4. Ugh my feet hurt! I’m trying to give it sometime but I stow and it’s physically demanding. The job it’s self isn’t super hard but ugh it’s hard on your body I don’t see how people do this for years and years
I quit after day one. It was mentally N physically taxing. Plus I got hit with a cart twice, something fell and almost hit me in the head, N I started to tear up in the freezer when I could not feel my toes. And this is just a shortlist of the shenanigans of day one. I turned my badge into the semi-nice trainer and said...I won't be back for a day two. Thank you.
I feel like everyone just lazy😂. Worked for 4 months as an associate learned almost every position and got promoted to ops manager. Just work. It’s work ofc it’s not easy but time flies in there
If its really taking a toll on your health physically or mentally you should quit. Because no job is worth over your health and wellbeing. Best of luck.
Job is easy once you learn it Money is great Like a workout with all the bending,squatting,and lifting sometimes really heavy merchandise Those are my pros The Cons- Long ass shifts Intense and tedious if you “picking” only (still tolerable if you ask me) Breaks are garbage 2 20 min breaks and a 30 min to eat🤦🏾♂️ takes 5-7 mins alone just to get to my car 10 to start eating if i have to go to the break room and grab my food outta the fridge Basically a robot because thats the job work,work, and work No time to get to know anyone so i just stay to myself I say “self, you’re here to make that money and provide for you and yours.” Physically demanding on the body so its not for everyone. Takes alot of tenacity.
I work at amazon n just had an job offer so I asked about the pay n its was way lower than amazon less body movement but less pay yes I want to be lazy but no I will stay at amazon for the body toning. N im not no young chick but no pain no gain n my body need to stay slim since I lost a lot weight n trying to keep it off.
You probably gave them a reason to write you up, You probably just don't want to work. Eat right and exercise regularly and develop a desire to work hard everyday
I started working as a customer service associate for Amazon yesterday. I quit today. They were all really nice to me, but I'm from Colombia and I found out they were paying 5 times LESS than they would pay someone on that same position anywhere else. I was supposed to work from 6 am to 4:30 for a ridiculous wage...
Lmao. I worked 8 months at an Amazon delivery station and resigned. Planning on applying to a sort center now near me instead. Stowing is easy but physical asf at a delivery station. My shifts were 10 hours 1:20am-11:50am. Sat-Tues I'm proud that I made it 8 months and became a blue badge but disappointed I had to resign to switch warehouses since there weren't any transfers open.
@@gailbozeman9626 yep. Before I left and resigned to go to the Amazon I'm at now I was stowing over 5 aisles by myself because so many people quit. Legit stowing aisle 14-31 myself with the occasional help from my ops. He was awesome but when everyone left it was too much.
@@kiyasierraatv2448 I did enjoy it. I liked it a lot tbh. Just really physical and hard when people start leaving. It was easy for me to get blue badge because I didn't get any points for being late or absent. I got blue badge in 30 days. Your comment was 6 months ago. Did you go? Do you like it?
So question I took my drug test and background check they gave me a schedule, when I now check on Amazon.force. website and I log in it tells me that I can choose my schedule but when I do it, it says no schedules are available currently and to try back and that they add schedules from Fridays to Mondays....🤔🤔🤔🤔 Wtf.... So did I get the job or what, I don't understand this, there hiring process is very different can someone help me understand what's going on please THANK YOU

This job is not for the physically inactive. You will move the entire shift - paid workout. 10 hours flys by fast! If you are a slow mover and prefer sitting in one spot for 40 full time hours, this is not the job for you.
Amazon is easy in the sense that it’s straight forward basic work, but nothin’ east about working on your feet for 10 hrs, with short ass breaks, and working during the exact opposite time of day that you’re use to working..
Amazon deceitful ASF!!! Once I found out about those stow rates and us having to work MULTIPLE work stations at the same time while STILL having to keep high rates, I wanted to run like my house on fire. Amazon dead wrong for that bs and they know it.
i was in training today. and the videos started going about random lockers, hubs, and "return counters" and shit like that. i asked him "what is that about? i thought we were delivering" he goes "you are. it can be MORE than a house though! sometimes you are walking up to floor 8 of an apartment building"
i was honestly thinking of just bolting right there LOL. i'll see how it goes xD
I’m quitting too. There’s barely any training and the managers are yelling at workers for making mistakes or annoying workers and sending them messages to work faster. The atmosphere is too depressing. The people who work there are unfriendly and looked pissed off at you when you walk by them.
It's all psychological manipulation. Make no mistake, if the managers aren't aware of what they're doing, upper management certainly does.
@@domainmailbox3850 and i one up their little teen girl psychological manipulation games and say ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING to them if they yell or are passive aggressive.
Have you quit as of today 2-25-2024?
Warehouse work is not for everyone ESPECIALLY when you have two jobs. I was able to do it only because I cant stand office jobs, so I would have a good balance between labor and sitting. Eventually I lost my job due to COVID at the office but I still had Amazon. I love it, got cross trained in a lot of places bc the repetition bores me.
If theres one thing I can say: Amazon orientation is the most unorganized portion when starting. Easy money but it takes forever by the time they actually train you!
Yeah it’s not a good second job to have unless you’re truly doing part time
I'm working wknds at a warehouse now thru a temp agency. I was gonna quit the day before because my feet were aching TF outta me but now it ain't that bad at all since I bought some new comfy shoes. I may still leave in a few wks but I'm doing it on good terms just in case I need some work for a couple days & they'll have no problem taking me back.
I don’t understand why you took the full time job at Amazon when you worked until 4-ish at your work from home job. When were you going to sleep? Too few hours to sleep between the two jobs.
@@lovethemflowers What's wrong with working Full time from working at home? At least they want to work, Are you black? Because only a black person would think like this
I’m at AMZN now (sortation); I like it because I’m retired; old people love b/c it supplement income and it’s not a threat to be released; they’re in reduced housing anyway, living alone with no social life and it beats playing bingo; they do try to match u with what old ppl can do; but I’m a peppy older person and love it; scanning (pick off is challenging), but u don’t have to say much, it’s pretty much: take this from here, do this to it, now place it here. I’ll tell you one thing, I bet you have more respect for getting your pkg if you order from AMZN knowing what ppl go thru to get it to u (I do anyway); loved your comment and I ❤️VTO.
she is explaining exactly how i am feeling rn. my trainer was nice asf but shit was too easy and she kept trying to overteach me. also my back is killing me. im doing 3, 12.5 hour shifts with 4 days off but after day 1 i am not looking forward to going back

Word! Loved your video. Some of the ambassadors feel they need to assert themselves in a way that shows management they can manage(more like handle) people. As a current employee, I’ll give my perspective. I just became an L3 learning trainer but I was a picker (L1) for a little over a year. Alicia was a stower who placed items into the pod. A picker is the person that actually picks the orders that are to be sent to induct, packing, and then to the customer. For the people that are just starting, it is a job that is very taxing on the body. It’s not only just the physical work but the hours combined with it that makes it tough. After a while, (2-4 weeks) you start to get used to doing the work. I’m not going to say that your feet and legs don’t continue to hurt after a 10/12 hour shift, but you learn to deal with it. Like she said, if you have a 9-5 already and make good money there, keep it. Amazon is a production based business and it will be expected from day 1/2….. Hang in there! You’ll be alright. There will be times people come up to you with feedback(often). Just receive it and continue working. Go home and enjoy your paycheck! Good luck!
“Why are you so hyped at 3 in the morning” LMAO that’s amazon for damn sure!!!!!

Omg! I had the same experience at amazon.( inbound stowing)I quit on day 2 on my lunch break. The trainer needed an attitude adjustment. They need to understand that , we are not pros on the first & second day. Amazon has a very depressing environment. Amazon is definitely not for everyone.
Quit on the 2nd day? Its because you don't want to work

@@jurnee-y Yes it is. I never liked that kind of work in the first place when I was so much younger. I remember when I was loading trucks with loads of milk for Sealtest over 40 years ago and though I was 22 going on 23 within a couple of weeks that summer I got the hell outta there. I lasted a week too long and went and applied at an insurance company working in the mailroom. So much better than that job so I don't know why I thought 60+ years of age I could work at Amazon. Rude awakening for sure.
I’m not that old compared to some other people who work there and I just look at them like, if im achy and tired from this I could only imagine how you feel. Not only that but there’s a pregnant chick that looks like she’s ready to pop any minute but they still be having her pick

I learned FAST!
I worked at a warehouse for another major retailer, which shall remain nameless, a few months ago & its pretty much the same way. Long hours on my feet, back pain, muscles locking up, mental strain, micromanagement, etc. I quit after 5 days. I couldnt take it anymore. If you want a quick paycheck, cool but dont be there for too long.

Was there for a year . Saw so many people come and go . Most didn't stay a week . Now they're doing hire on bonuses at the locations that struggle with retainment the most .
the bonuses are a waste of time because they are paid in increments only for the person to quit anyways because of the harsh realities. Frequent breaks would really help ANYBODY at this point i mean whistle blows every two hours for a 15min break. lol

No!, You guys need to stop complaining, work hard and shut up
I’m 55 years old and I am an office manager during the day full time making $6more an hour than Amazon is paying me. I wanted the benefits!! But it’s hard work, no training, I was put into stowing too. I haven’t quit yet. What did you end up doing as a part time gig? They want you to work so fast and up and down the step ladder and really no training
Part time i just let it go because my son is back from his summer vacation so now I’m just home with the little one
Eat right and exercise and the labor wouldn't bother you
Stowing u dont even have to use the ladder just go to the next pod lol... picking u cant do that
@@meyou5789 I don’t know much about picking but stowing, if you push the button to go to the next pod that is held against you! They keep track plus it could take several pods before you get one where you don’t have to climb the ladder and the clock is always ticking.
I pick up an extra job at Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I have a full time job elsewhere but picked up this job to help pay for my wedding! They blew me when they didn’t tell me that for the two mandatory days of training I had to be there for 10 hours. My body never ached so bad before in my life, and I workout regularly. Not a bad job, but that type of labor is wear and tear on the body

The training sucks, people have bad attitude’s there. It’s very loud, and back breaking work. Almost feels like a prison. Brutal long, hours. Picking up boxes all night like some kind of robot. My whole body was sore, and I couldn’t even get up put the bed. Couldn’t hardly walk
Smart move. Working at Amazon sucks!!!! There are better jobs to be found. Best luck in your job hunt.
Girl i feel this. I just started thursday and everything bout is a disaster. I got sent home yesterday bc i over heated and thru up. There is no air coming thru the facility i work at. I work 6pm to 6am and we only get two bathroom breaks.
2 bathroom breaks?
2 bathroom breaks that’s not good
My site I just go when ever I have to go. I dont have to ask to go. I just go. N its water machine near by with very cold water to drink. My stations have fans but i still get hot.
Wtf bathroom breaks? What ever happend to going to the bathroom when you feel like it? That's fukd up.
I thoght u ladies was leveled up😂😂😂
My first day was today. Once we finished "training" (if thats what it was supposed to be) and started stowing, my scanner kept messing up and I decided I'm not doing this. I just left. I never quit a job that fast and didnt even make it the whole day. It was too depressing and just a negative environment.
You was stowing on a Cherry picker? Or with a robot
training is sitting in a room for 7 hours, watching videos, taking quizzes and seeing the loadout process. lol. nice training
I worked at amazon fresh for almost a year as PTflex. I asked over and over again to be trained in something new, before i started full time because i did not wanna be picking/receiving/batching for 10 hours, but they wouldnt. They told me I need to train myself basically, how tf? Bc a lot of the other jobs there besides picking, receiving, or batching require a laptop. Idk where they even keep them, let alone how to navigate to do a new job without training. But they would train other people who been there much less time than me. Yesterday was my first full time day, i picked alll day and felt so depressed and drained. The aches and pains i can get over, but its the mental exhaustion for me. And it was only day one of full time, i couldnt do it.
yea gone head switch back
They literally didn't train me.They told me where to go and that was it! I raised hell till they told me exactly to do with a trainer.The manager was looking at me weird like I shouldn't have went off.They literally threw me to the wolves with no help didn't tell me how to scan or nothing.I left after a week or two and they never told me I had to stay an extra hr or so after I packed.I told them I was leaving cause they never told me,this was after my shift was over.Nah very unprofessional and no training.Would not recommended!!!
I do full time delivery on different platforms and my feet didn't hurt. But that warehouse got me considering amputation on both legs. I quit today.
We have a brand new facility that opened up last year. More bathrooms, layout is way way better than older building, more convenient bathrooms, great A/C.
You definitely made the right decision. It's a dead end job working at amazon .

Amazon is easy work, try doing construction!!!
Many people that have worked as amazon drivers have quit, and it's understandable why so many amazon drivers quit. Lots of amazon delivery drivers that quit are hard workers, have a great work ethic, are great employees, are in great physical shape, etc.
Many amazon delivery drivers quit since they constantly feel pressured and rushed to make 200 stops per day and make 20 stops per hour. At Amazon, many drivers have to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour, and they're being monitored to make sure they're making 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour. There's lots of circumstances that occur that make it hard or even impossible to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour such as traffic jams, detours, rainy conditions, delivering several packages to apartment complexes, customers asking questions about packages, etc. Many amazon delivery drivers urinate in cups on the side of the road due to fearing that if they stop somewhere to use the bathroom, they won't be able to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour. Many amazon delivery drivers skip their breaks, run stop signs, run red lights, etc due to feeling rushed and pressured to make 200 stops per day and 20 stops per hour.
So true. I delivered for them too
U run a stop sign or light you’re fked so don’t lie. They will let u know real quick.
Second, it’s not 20 an hour, I easily do 30 for apartments and up too 45 for easier routes and I walk.
Peeing im bottles is part of delivery jobs like this. Fedex and ups all do it. Get over it. You’re not going too die.
Many ppl quit because they come in thinking this jobs easy, you get too blast music and walk too houses and drive in ac all day… what a dream job right… you need to have a very good work ethic or you’re not going too make it, no one’s going too hold your hand to teach you to be more efficient.
This is one of the easiest jobs I have, I catch up on podcasts and hbomax movies with my third phone ok it’s own elbow. I use my xtra time I saved too do some quick groceries before I head back too rts.
That's right i quit after 20 days, and yes a had to pee in a cup , and not take my break, is just crazy, worst job i ever had,
I delivered for 3yrs. I would've stayed if we didn't do the merger with another DSP.
1 day at Amazon , I’m not going back!! It’s not for me. My back and legs had major pain, I have back problems, it’s just not worth it to me.
Thats basically every warehouse job. If you need a quick few hundred dollars, work there for a hot min & bounce. Its not something you wanna do long-term.
Thats me. 15 years and i have all these problems that i never had before and its not because im getting older. Doctor says i shouldnt have the problems i have. Headaches, depression, anxiety, herniated disk, scolosis ,tendonitis, bursitis, arthritic pain, carpal boss, trigger finger, nerve pain in legs, neck muscle tension. All due to one job.
Great decision 😊
I start on the 4 been tryna find a job for the longest but didn’t nobody wanna hire me so I applied to amazon and this would be my first job ever I’m kinda nervous 😬
It’s okay i was nervous too but it’s just not for me.
Well what’s the word now? I lasted 1 week🏃🏾💨
I lasted like 2 days 😂😂

Amazon driver sucks they do not pay no more than 15 an hour. 16 the most because of covid. Fedex express driver is 18 an hour
Also medical courier driver is 16-18 an hour less stress more money
I feel bad for the ppl who got to stay.
I don't, Let them work
Because they got bills to pay
💯
Yeah they pay good but there environment is toxic
Its best to not to work at places like this. They are physically and mentally draining. Not only that but takes a toll on your body.. T how i hurt my back and have nerve damage due to standing 8-12 hrs a day.
If you eat right and exercise regularly, the work wouldn't bother you.
thats for any job, you working? hm?
I quit the first day too girl I quit during the training class. I was going for delivery driver
I quit my second internship (it was in the kitchen hotel) because the environment was dirty, esp. the dressing room, didn't have anything to eat (well, it was only a few times), and I have a hard time collaborating with colleagues there because of my poor communication and active listening skills (that was my own fault).
we learn and grow, don't blame yourself too much its all learning
My 1st day scanner not working and had to watch from a distance can't see what's on her scanner but I'm getting audited tonight even though my scanner was useless. Couldn't hear her because of noise and social distance. Terrible training.
I bet you got paid the full scheduled time. Even though you started late, Amazon pays by the time they scheduled you for. Once you walk through that door on camera, you're clocked in.
The delivery station where I'm at in Portland is alright. The Learning ambassadors are nice and they understand that you're not going to be fast right away
I’m trying to quit but it isn’t giving me the option 😩 I only showed up for my day one but the next day my body was dead.. I thought I’d give it a second chance because I was working at amazon for 3 months last year and I had the option to just quit on the spot but now this place isn’t letting me.

Yes it's super diverse but there are more guys then women. Yesterday there were these cleaners that came into the bathroom. While I was in there. Instead of getting out. They started talking to me. I kept trying to get them to move. But they didn't. Lucky another girl came and got some help for me. But I'm very uncomfortable now. I dont really wanna go back.
Yeah it’s good In the beginning lol trust it’ll get worse
I quit after a week smh. I got harassed 2 out of the 5 days I worked 🙄🙄 but I mainly quit bc my fat ass (my pfp is years old) could not handle exercise for 7 hours a day I felt disgusting and smelled like shit and I could barely move bc I was so sore everyday

Very true
And she sound like a 12 year old😮
Any warehouse job I worked didn't care about nails. The policy said no nails but they didn't care as long as you did your job.
Saying someone is weak & lazy is a little much, just bc somebody is used to working like a modern day slave doesn’t mean somebody else who tries the job is lazy, could you sit for long periods of time while working??? Or talk to customers all day??? Does it make you lazy or weak if you were to quit that type of job??? Some jobs aren’t fit everybody & that’s fine, just have to find a job that fits you 🤷🏽♀️

That's a Stupid petty reason to quit
I’m thinking about working there for like one day or 2 just to get paid for it🤣 the irony is they emailed me as I was typing this😭
I quit after 5 days I couldn’t take it my feet hurt so bad and my fat ass is not built for that type of job also I didn’t even get health insurance so not worth it
I'm a picker I know how you feel...😄I'm going see if they can switch me to packer
Bruh it’s literally the easiest thing ever 💀
@@lyfelyne7194 what position do you work?
Its brutal.
I think they give you health insurance if you work full time
I’m in the same boat. I’m in NYC and I work 8-5 and about to start at Amazon from 8-5 at night lol. Planning on sleeping in between. I’m going to try it out and see. If I don’t like it just like you in out
I quit Amazon delivery station after two weeks of work. My body was torned apart completely 😂😂😂From stowing three ailes like crazy,and picking at the end. I couldn’t handle it,a lot of physical work and for $15.30hr heck no….them oversized boxes are HEAVY. I was done being sore,and with a sweaty ass and wet panties from 1:20am-11:50am.
🤣🤣 Girl, I'm not trying to spend half my check on some Lume deodorant. Hope you found something easier with good pay. I was about to try it out next month but damn that!
Ommg I feel you I know this is old video here, I’m think to quit too at Amazon I’m new here, I never worked warehouse in my whole life this is my 1st & now I’m thinking not to come back
The job was to hard and they didn’t let me work 50 hours and I had to stay in one spot it was a lot of people and it gets me anxiety
I just started a warehouse job recently & im already planning my exit because my feet be on fire after 10-12 hours. Im only staying on board because of the pay. I'll give it about a good 2 months so i can save enough money & then im out.
You see any highschool students around?
I’m eligible for the job soon but I don’t have a diploma (excuse I’m attending highschool still)
Do they check if you actually have a diploma or not?
Cause their turn over rate is so high it sounds like a waste of money
Misty Diablo i started 3yr ago they never asked about my diploma
sukh singh any chance you know their night shift hours part time?
Misty Diablo The schedule varies by location when u apply they give your different start times which u can choose from like day or night, full time or part time
@@Mistyfgdf I didn't see any high schoolers as far as I know. A lot of these warehouse jobs really don't care if you have a diploma or not. They worry more about your availability. I say just wait til you finish school so you can work any hours at any job. If anything, try to find something part time for now so it doesn't intrude on your school time.
People annoying you at work! would be a good reason to quit!😤
Thank you Frank
When i worked at fred meyers warehouse as a order selector no women working at that warehouse because what we do in fredy is very different compared to amazon i see a lot of videos people working as a picker. I don't see hard at all. Once u work at warehouse expect a hard work. Check what we do in fred meyer this amazon is way way easy
It's like playing tetris in real life! Lol
Great video!
I honestly think if Amazon paid more then people wouldn’t hate it that much
No!
Eat right and exercise regularly and Stop complaining
No they would still hate it...lol
Amazon is not for everyone.
If they paid more they wouldn’t be hiring anyone that applies. It would be like any other employer.
You remind me of DEE from
The What's Happening TV show
You got the Not Having It Attitude
as well. You are So Funny. Keep Your Head Up
Damn some real horror stories being told here. I work for Amazon in the Inbound/Outbound building on Staten Island in New York. Mad easy work. So easy I was wondering why anyone would want to union bust. After reading some of these comments I understand now. But warehouse work is not for everyone.
Damn you and all these comments got me thinking lol I just need to work for a few months to stack a few bands
I start in a few days. Its the 12hr Thu-Sat nights. I worked at a manufacturing plant for a year prior. So hopefully it won't be terrible. 18.4 is what starting pay is. Obviously not great by any means, but I really need something at the moment. Plus it's nice that (I'm speaking too soon lol) more shifts are always available.
Yeah something is always better than nothing
$18.40? Thats a decent pay if you're single.
So how long did u last?
@@nickireginebey9361 Stayed for three months, went to a different job and came back again for a few months for the Holiday pay and SUB incentives. then left again lmfao.
I started in the beginning of October and I haven’t been able to get shift. My position is at Whole Foods Market as a Primer Shopper. The only thing I hate about the location is that there is no parking for employees. I have to park on the street and pay. Walk like 12 minutes to get to the location of the job. So basically I waste more money than earn money. I want to quit so bad.
You got the easiest job ever whole food
I quit 3 day's ago, I lasted 7 months. Amazon Stl8
Why did u quit? I just had an interview !!!!
@@blazineyezasian____ Amazons physical work was easy but it's mentally depressing. Amazon doesn't respect or care about it's employees. Plus the hours are shit. Good luck. I'll be back after peak. Only 2 days a week though.
That’s cool, I used to work at STL5.
Surprised why no one questioned they don’t even do interviews they want you quickly slaving
I said the same thing last night at work! They just need bodies!
I start September 6th 6pm-4am but I’m only doing it to lose weight until my birthday in November because I’m going on a trip. I hope I last until then. Do you think it would help with weight loss?
Oh yeah it will definitely help you lose weight
I start today and I'm so hyped to lose weight 😂
OHHHHH YESSSSSS!!!!! Eat healthy and u will definitely lose weight!!! Trust me!!
Lol I know u struggling by now...job is crazy
Donflun I’m done! My feet were hurting sooo bad my first 3 days and when my right knee started hurting I said yea nah F this! I only took it as a second job to get out the house and meet people since I been working from home the last 8 years and the money was gon be a plus too, but F that she said it all in the video it’s hard ASF on your body. The atmosphere is also just sad especially when going on break and everyone just so quiet because they have to be six feet apart at all times. I think they should at least let people listen to music. I was in packing Sun-Wd 630-5am and packing wasn’t hard just hard on your body. All props and respect to those that have to work that job.
Did you know Amazon will pay you to quit? But I think you have to work their for a year or something to be eligible
Details on this ?
@@Elusiveeeeee this is was over 3 years ago. I don’t remember all the details of it. Sorry
I’m on day 4. Ugh my feet hurt! I’m trying to give it sometime but I stow and it’s physically demanding. The job it’s self isn’t super hard but ugh it’s hard on your body I don’t see how people do this for years and years
I quit last week after 6 days....
This is my third week stowing 💀 things are hurting that I didn’t even know could hurt, like my finger muscles
I quit after day one. It was mentally N physically taxing. Plus I got hit with a cart twice, something fell and almost hit me in the head, N I started to tear up in the freezer when I could not feel my toes. And this is just a shortlist of the shenanigans of day one. I turned my badge into the semi-nice trainer and said...I won't be back for a day two. Thank you.
If you eat right and exercise regularly, the work wouldn't bother you.
@@user-of1pj5fb6v Stupid reasons to cop out
Spanish people don't quit so easy
I feel like everyone just lazy😂. Worked for 4 months as an associate learned almost every position and got promoted to ops manager. Just work. It’s work ofc it’s not easy but time flies in there
5:40 omg I can’t 😂🤣 she really said LOL!
Im 3 weeks in & I'm really thinking about quitting
If its really taking a toll on your health physically or mentally you should quit. Because no job is worth over your health and wellbeing. Best of luck.
Y’all trippin this job is easy.
@Criolu Brabu got no daddy and my momma live with her momma
@Criolu Brabu you sound like the type that judge people and talk shit about people that have something you want or carry’s themselves well
Job is easy once you learn it
Money is great
Like a workout with all the bending,squatting,and lifting sometimes really heavy merchandise
Those are my pros
The Cons- Long ass shifts
Intense and tedious if you “picking” only (still tolerable if you ask me)
Breaks are garbage 2 20 min breaks and a 30 min to eat🤦🏾♂️ takes 5-7 mins alone just to get to my car 10 to start eating if i have to go to the break room and grab my food outta the fridge
Basically a robot because thats the job work,work, and work
No time to get to know anyone so i just stay to myself
I say “self, you’re here to make that money and provide for you and yours.”
Physically demanding on the body so its not for everyone. Takes alot of tenacity.
I work at amazon n just had an job offer so I asked about the pay n its was way lower than amazon less body movement but less pay yes I want to be lazy but no I will stay at amazon for the body toning. N im not no young chick but no pain no gain n my body need to stay slim since I lost a lot weight n trying to keep it off.
What
thank you for the video,i would like to know know necessary english skills needed to start any position at the amazon werehouse?
Not really
Hey hello I have a question, where you go or what you do to quit the job? I wanna do it but i don’t what to do
U should do what your guts tell you to do theirs other jobs thats great out their that you will feel like a real team to the company.
I use to work there also it was so horrible they write u up for any little thing I worked at the one in Arizona!
You probably gave them a reason to write you up, You probably just don't want to work.
Eat right and exercise regularly and develop a desire to work hard everyday
I started working as a customer service associate for Amazon yesterday. I quit today. They were all really nice to me, but I'm from Colombia and I found out they were paying 5 times LESS than they would pay someone on that same position anywhere else. I was supposed to work from 6 am to 4:30 for a ridiculous wage...
I think they base wages on cost of living in your area. If they know they can pay less they will.
Lmao. I worked 8 months at an Amazon delivery station and resigned. Planning on applying to a sort center now near me instead. Stowing is easy but physical asf at a delivery station. My shifts were 10 hours 1:20am-11:50am. Sat-Tues I'm proud that I made it 8 months and became a blue badge but disappointed I had to resign to switch warehouses since there weren't any transfers open.
i’m suppose to be working this same shift, did you like working at the delivery station? was it hard to move up to a blue badge ?
I stow and they have us going back and forth from 4 different aisle..I hate picking getting the routes ready ..I sweat all night it’s a workout
@@gailbozeman9626 yep. Before I left and resigned to go to the Amazon I'm at now I was stowing over 5 aisles by myself because so many people quit. Legit stowing aisle 14-31 myself with the occasional help from my ops. He was awesome but when everyone left it was too much.
@@kiyasierraatv2448 I did enjoy it. I liked it a lot tbh. Just really physical and hard when people start leaving. It was easy for me to get blue badge because I didn't get any points for being late or absent. I got blue badge in 30 days. Your comment was 6 months ago. Did you go? Do you like it?
Strawberry I work that shift I like the house and time but my feet hurt so bad….when I get off I can barely walk…I take at least 27, 000 steps day
I started off doing part time and that was easy, but that 8 hr shift had me bent ! Lol
Eat right and exercise and it won't bother you
Very true
So question I took my drug test and background check they gave me a schedule, when I now check on Amazon.force. website and I log in it tells me that I can choose my schedule but when I do it, it says no schedules are available currently and to try back and that they add schedules from Fridays to Mondays....🤔🤔🤔🤔 Wtf.... So did I get the job or what, I don't understand this, there hiring process is very different can someone help me understand what's going on please THANK YOU
@karybnails I haven't figured anything out yet, it's very discouraging
I had applied for one in dec 2 n want through the screening n was suppose to start on dec 10. But no work was available at that site. Im just glad we have more than one wearhouse in MD so I applied for another site dec 23 n I started jan 3.
Today was my 1st day in STOW.
I commute an hour and I'm in excruciating pain. I literally puked at work today. It's hell
This job is not for the physically inactive. You will move the entire shift - paid workout. 10 hours flys by fast!
If you are a slow mover and prefer sitting in one spot for 40 full time hours, this is not the job for you.
